WAHOO! COMING BACK STRONGER AND LARGER THAN EVER!

One door closes and another one opens.I separated from TME. It was mutual. As you know I am one of the most censored hosts in radio. It got to the point it was unbearable, suppose that was their plan. The Edge was zapped every day at 11:02 everyday. Time I could connect it only lasted 20 minutes. TME was not willing to upgrade gear to prevent interference. I don't like reruns. Todays news and comments are for the moment. The new network is by far the most cutting edge and will become your favorite. Bad news, It will also stream live video from my studio! Yikes! As always, I'll make you look good! Chat room will be great. SEE YA SOON.

In Virginia, the Second Amendment means freedom to buy unlimited number of guns

By admin, on March 22nd, 2012

Virginia is for lovers — of guns. Last month the state overturned a 20-year-old law that barred residents from buying more than one handgun a month. In Virginia, firearms are like potato chips — you can’t stop at just one. Governor Bob McDonnell in February repealed Virginia’s prohibition of purchasing more than one handgun per month. Virginians are now free to buy as many guns as they want. The law was intended to curb gun trafficking, but many Virginians felt it curbed freedom instead. Thirty years after a powerful gun control movement swept the country Americans are embracing guns with a zeal unseen since the days of muskets and militias. For many in the United States, freedom is symbolized by the barrel of a gun. It’s Democracy, locked and loaded.
